Martha Made Me Do It!

I've always been a fan of Martha.  That's why when I won a give-away last week on Sharon's fun blog MoosecraftUSA I couldn't have been happier!  I won two Martha Stewart books on organizing the home and home solutions.  Just my kind of books. Thanks so much Sharon!  I like to read and reread these kinds of publications  hoping to gain some insight on getting my messes and home squared away.



Paging through the Simple Home Solutions book I spied this idea for storage under the bathroom sink on page 107.


Judging by the storage solution under MY bathroom sink, I think I have a ways to go before meeting Martha's yellow gingham lined basket standards.  Ya think?

(I can't believe I'm actually showing you a pic of under my bathroom sink!.... )

Oh well. I have all winter to worry about what's under my bathroom sink. Sorry Martha.  But I do have to report that Martha has inspired a little French decorating in my bathroom.    French Bulldog that is.
If you are a Martha groupie you probably know she has two adorable French Bulldogs named Francesca and Sharkey.   Of course they even have their own blog The Daily Wag.    
A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning and redecorating a little shelf in my bathroom. I've had this little French Bulldog figurine sitting in my office among some other clutter.  I thought why not give an ode to Martha by finding a home for it in the bathroom.  It found a new home on the shelf over the tub.  Maybe it will remind to do something about  the clutter under the 
sink one of these days!



Thanks again Sharon!  That was a fun give-away!
